The downfall of the Falcons this year is as dramatic or even more so than the Giants. I just do not get how those two teams...with essentially the same personel as last year can be playing such putrid ball. Yes I know there is a huge all star shaped hole in Atlanta at wideout, but they still have Roddy, and Gonzo etc...and they were playing realy poorly before the kid went down. It is beyond shocking to me....I think one of those coaches will be a surprise firing after the season ends.
I'd say even more so than the Giants. They went from Super Bowl contenders to being one of the worst teams in the league. The Falcons were yards away from going to the Super Bowl last year. They had big Super Bowl hopes this year and were so confident, they talked Gonzo out of retiring so they could send him out with a ring (SMFH, poor Gonzo

the way this team and coaches work,, we will jump out 21-0. we will let them score before half because the coaches always go soft . when the second half opens, we will be soft on both sides of the ball because our coaches are soft in the head at times and roman will be to busy wolfing down a couple of maid rites.. it will be 21-14, the team will then wake up but because the coaches got the entire offense out of their first half groove, we will stall in the red zone. dawson will kick about three field goals. that will make it 30-14. now last week the coaches opted to unleash the defense late and finished strong but i still feel, the team will play that lovely prevent d in the fourth quarter, the falcons will score to make it 30-21 in a game which never should have been that close
